Westerbeke 9.0 BCG Technical Manual page 222

B. The BCG 6.5KW and BCD 6.0KW generators have two capacitors in the exciter circuit. The capacitor
on the left side of the generator end contains the connections corresponding to the hertz (speed)
produced by the generator. These connections are labeled #60 (60 hertz) and #50 (50 hertz). Unplug
the hertz connection that needs to be changed and plug in the hertz connection required for the desired
hertz rating.
CAUTION
Make sure the insulating covers on the unused leads are in place and that the leads never
come in contact with each other or come in contact with the case.

3. Integral Controller (3 Wire)
THE 17 PLUG IS
SHOWN CONNECTED
TO THE CAPACITOR
ONLY FOR DEMON-
STRATION PURPOSES.
Early model integral controllers of the 3 wire type had a 60 or 50 hertz connection. The plug-in type
had a #60 or # 50 lead plugged into the controller that corresponded to the hertz produced. Change
this connection when changing the generator's hertz rating.
4. Speed Adjustment - Hertz
Gasoline Models:
Start the generator and adjust the speed screw on the governor to produce the generator's no-load
hertz.
Diesel Models:
Adjust the linkage between the throttle arm and fuel solenoid on the diesel models to produce the cor-
rect no-load hertz.
